  1. Thanks for the catch.....I guess new upload is needed anyway.
  2. BINGO!! Being on the west coast, it cost a LOT more to compete on a National level in Open class. I know TONS of kids that would like to march but just can't afford it. Either you stay local and not back to champships to keep the fees down or raise fees and limit the number of marchers to go to Nats. My belief is if you could get tour fees to $1,000 or less you would have full corps all over the place in So Cal. I too think there are too many corps in the area. Recruiting is a problem in a rich competitive band area in which when these kids see a potential corps they're thinking about marching, (early season shows) they're not that good. So a kid thinks "My band is better than that" and then will think about marching PC. I've seen PC's auditions and they have A LOT of So Cal kids, but these same kids wouldn't march any of the other local corps. Perceived value for the money I guess. On top of all this Kingsmen have said they want to restart their Jr. corps. It's just too much. Having 5 corps with 15-30 horns is not fun to me. I would much rather see 2 large corps comete nationaly every year. So. Cal CAN NOT support more than one competitive national touring corps at a time. Never has never will. In the 70s it was Kingmen, 80s & 90s VK, Since PC.
  3. Sure and she said the same thing your corps will be saying on finals night......"Just couldn't get it in"
  4. That's true, with smarts like that, INT is right were they belong.........in the back of the CLASS
  5. What time will the point increase go into effect? Is there a "normal" time that this will happen throughout the season?
  6. Oops!! Maybe they'll let you compete in Open Class for a few weeks
  7. I'm very pleased with the progress of all three VK Org. corps. As the regionals approach. we're limiting any changes and are just going to clean, clean, clean what we have. Good Luck to all.
  8. Org Rankings for the week. P.S. Anyone know the HTML code to make linked IMG files larger without actually changing the image? Something like [20%>] or whatever. I've done this with various font sizes yet it always imports at the same size. Just curious.
  9. Must be careful, a Lion shouldn't taunt a Knight with a Sword, it could end badly for the Lion.
  10. Ok so when do I get a chance to put The Sword in it's proper home? (That would be with the Velour Knights) Need to make sure it's on the west coast at the end of the season so that it's here at the beginning of next season.
  11. If I had to quess, the "it" would be, "I hope it doesn't rain" meaning I have just jinxed the show.....sorry.
  12. With that here are the current Org. Rankings
  13. Recaps are up. I was hoping to get scores tonight but I guess I'll have something to wake up to.
  14. So which state will officially be your home state? Just need to know for the State Championships at the end of the season.
